Five Sisters by Barbara Alpern Engel

Five Sisters by Barbara Alpern Engel

Violent movements opposing existing political orders erupted throughout nineteenth-century Europe, but nowhere was this revolutionary impulse made more dramatically visible than in Russia. "Five Sisters" - first published in 1975 - presents English translations of the memoirs of five of Russia's most renowned female revolutionaries - Vera Figner, Vera Zasulich, Praskovia Ivanovskaia, Olga Liubatovich, and Elizaveta Kovalskaia. Engel and Rosenthal have added a new introduction and an updated list of suggested readings. A welcome reboot of a widely read classic, students and specialists of Russian history and women's studies will find this collection to be a fascinating record of tumultuous times.

Barbara Engel is Distinguished Professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is the author of Between the Fields and the City, Women in Russia, and most recently, Breaking the Ties that Bound, as well as of numerous articles.
Clifford Rosenthal worked for ten years as a translator of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. Subsequently, he led a national association of credit unions serving low-income communities for more than three decades, twice consulting with the Russian credit union movement as a member of an international delegation.
